The After 150
Dirga and Bentala Forces
“Rara... let's get up time !!” Aunty is busy cooking from the kitchen
When I got up my head was dizzy but I felt very happy, a strange dream in which I began to know a boy in a dream.
Her shabby appearance with many wounds on her body raised thousands of questions in my head, if only I could meet her again.
And who would have thought the next night, as if time were turning back, the same location, the same conditions, the same situation, and I saw it again, he was leaning under one of the twin trees staring at the dark sky.
“Dirga... we meet again yes..” My heart sits before him.
“Hai rara... what will you tell me today?” Reply with a smile
Hearing his answer seemed to give me a sting, in this place only we were alone no one else, a private place where we could tell each other our days.
Seeing her reminds me of someone, but inexplicably Dirga emits something different, she emits something that only she has.
When I first met Karsa I was terrified as soon as I accepted her cold gaze but in contrast to Dirga, I was not the least bit afraid to see her scarred appearance, it felt... he was a good person, for sure he got the injury not from trivial reasons.
"Are we friends??" dirga asked while looking at me gloomily
"Friends? Of course you're my friend !!"
When we first met, and then heard my answer he smiled, a very warm and sincere smile.
Everyone I meet always says that my smile is the most beautiful smile and something to look after... Is this feeling what they mean?? A smile to be guarded.
…
Summer has arrived and at times like this is the right time to start an adventure, I along with the bentala troops plan to go out of the village and which is certainly accompanied by Karsa
“Come go out !!”
“Don't you guys get curious about the world out there??” Take the twins fauz and faust
Fauz and Faust, two curly-haired twin boys, although they have similar appearances, can be distinguished by their inversely proportional behavior.
On the one hand the fauz is a hyperactive and very careless child, while the faust is a calmer and clever-minded child with high curiosity.
In addition to Fauz and Faust there are still two members of the bentala army, namely angel who is the grandson of the village elder elena and also Aurora who also has hyperactive and careless behavior such as fauz.
With the existence of beast hunters should the forest area around the village is safe from the threat of wild animals then no need to be afraid anymore and make excuses to go out.
The Fauz and Faust twins were most excited to lead our troops down the sun-drenched forest path, the sound of birdsong, the gentle stomping of deer feet, the calm flow of river water, and the quiet, and the cold summer breeze struck when we reached the vast prairie.
The length of the summer adventure I always tell in the evening to Dirga, as well as Dirga who continues to tell his adventures along with his best friend there Poppo, Poppo, the story we shared was completely different considering where I was and where Dirga was.
When Dirga told me about his place, he said there were many tall buildings and very crowded with people he did not know.
It was very different from me where the people in this village all knew me, plus the location of the village that was a little hidden since the mass war prevented people who wanted to come.
It was very interesting to see in person the places that were told Dirga, also one day took him to go around with Bentala Forces.
Night after night I continued to meet with Dirga and day after day we ventured further and further out of the village, then one day the twins said they found a place that was amazing and beautiful.
The twins led the way as usual, past the river where we used to play, past the vast meadows where we used to rest, and a little trip up, he said, it took until noon until the Twins finally said that we were almost at their destination and finally what we saw was really something amazing.
From above I saw the beauty of the place I always see at night, two twin mountains with a giant lake in between.
“I... I know this place.”
“Truely... Besides if you knew this place should have told us all sooner.” The twins Faust and Fauz
“No, I know this place but I have never been here.”
I'm so sure because I see her every night, I always surround this place with Dirga, my body moves itself running away from the other kids.
“Rara!! Where to!” Shouts karsa
“There's something I have to make sure of!!”
Karsa also came running after me as well as other children, passing dead trees, giant stones in the shape of the head of an old man, and also a giant tree with a bird's nest on it, I finally got to the twin tree where I met Dirga.
“This is it.. place in my dream, my place and Dirga.”.
Karsa and the others in a hurry were finally able to catch up to me, Angel, Aurora, and the twins immediately lay exhausted and tried to rearrange their breaths.
“So this is the place where you and Dirga that you often tell me can meet??” Ask Karsa curiously
“True... I always see it in every night, I remember this place very much. Besides last night also I met with Dirga here and maybe tonight also.”.
“Kira-Kira has been a few months since you first met the boy in your dream?” Tanya aurora who was still exhausted rubbed her head
“Yes, yes...very beautiful days I will never forget, adventures with Karsa and others in the morning until the afternoon, and, then the adventure with Dirga in the evening until waking up in the morning. I hope this will not end.”.
Meanwhile, Fauz took off his shirt and ran past us and jumped into the lake.
“Fauz what are you doing!? You can't swim, come quickly here.” Shouting faust
“Not to worry, can you see for yourself right? The water is so shallow I can walk here.”
“Fauz isn't it the farther you walk from us the water looks deeper?” Ask angela
“It's okay maybe it's just ima-” suddenly fauz as if he fell in the lake
“Stupid Basics !!” Faust then took off his clothes and immediately swam to save Fauz.
After successfully bringing the fauz back to the surface, Faust quickly performs first aid to resuscitate the Fauz Back, and once he realizes the faust is incessantly nagging him.
“That's him, if his sister acted carelessly his calm nature was immediately swallowed by anger.” Complaints angela while sighing.
“Angela !! Rara !! if until here the water is still shallow, besides the water is also very fresh you should try it.” Shouted the aurora that was already in the lake.
“Really? Wait for me !!” Without thinking Long I went down the hill and tried the lake water.
The water is very clear and in addition to the atmosphere of summer will feel perfect when accompanied by a bath in the lake, in the end we all play around the lake.
After a while, it did not feel the sky was no longer bright and we immediately rushed back home, we should have gone home sooner because the road that must be passed in order to get back to the village was quite long.
We were forced to go through a dark road, finally, in the morning, the twins lead the journey with enthusiasm now they are in the middle of the line because they are too afraid to be at the front and too afraid to be at the back too.
“Heeh where did the brave twins Fauz and Faust go.” Ledek Angela is behind the fauz
“Hidden among women, can't it be a little more manly like Karsa?? Yes Karsaaa..” call aurora that is in front of the faust.
“Do not be noisy, in this dark time it is better for us to be quiet, after all what about Rara who is back there…?? Rara..??”
RARA!!!!
